D’Ambience

Launched in 2011 and set to be completed in 2014, D’Ambience Residences serviced apartments continue to bring affordable homes to the thriving Johor township. Nestled in Johor Bahru, particularly in Taman Permas Jaya, the development is at a strategic location where a relaxing yet luxurious lifestyle is offered. For busy professionals, couples or families (in JB or elsewhere) needing a break from a fast paced life, D’Ambiene seems to be a sound option to consider. We at PropertyReviews.my do the due diligence for you…

The luxury condominium development consists of three towers – two 21-storey towers with 234 units each and one 27-storey towers with 312 units. All three towers sits in more than ten acres of freehold land with a breath-taking surroundings that’s sure to mend any troubles or stress away.

I Am Iron Man

While there are other residential developments in the area including The Raffles Suites, Emerald Resident and Nova Suites, D’Ambience proves to a competitive real estate investment option by living well to its name. Not surprising considering that IJM Land, the award-winning developer and a subsidiary of IJM Corporation Berhad is behind the project. IJM’s portfolio is like Tony Stark – handsome, rich and somewhat intimidating; see Ampersand KLCC, the PJ stalwart Riana Green, Light Waterfront in Penang, Nusa Duta in Johor and De’Bunga semi-d’s and bungalows in Ampang. It has also followed SP Setia’s footsteps in breaking into London property; its Royal Mint Gardens have since launched to great reception (see The Star coverage here).

With a commitment to make good better, IJM Land saw the potential of the location and transformed it into a sanctuary with the beautiful ambiance as one of the main selling points. D’Ambience units, in fact, has that signature promise where ordinary spaces are brought to life through expert and masterful landscaping and design.

(Relatively) Affordable Prices

All in all, there are 780 units housed in three towers with build-up sizes ranging from 513 to 1,414 sq.ft. And with five different layout designs available to choose from, there is practically a suitable unit for everyone – singles, professionals, couple and families. Another edge that worked well for the development is the way it balances quality with affordability. The developer ensure that a diverse group of discerning buyers can afford a unit by setting the price starting from RM182,800 to RM441,800.

Compare that with The Raffles Suites, another condominium development in Johor Bharu, which was launched early this year (mid February 2013) with pries from RM408,900 to RM736,900. Though some of tje units are bigger (build up range from 700 to 1,068 sq.ft.), when it comes down to price, D’Ambience is definitely cheaper hence more attractive for some investors. However, it is important to remember that cheaper doesn’t always equate to a better investment.

Facilities + Amenities

Mesmerizing ambience and spectacular views aside, D’Ambience is complete with a host of facilities that sync perfectly with the lifestyle you want. Within the development are key features such as:

Clubhouse

Sauna

Reflexology footpaths

Gymnasium

Sky lounge

Sky terrace

Playground

Other facilities that residents can further enjoy are the swimming and wading pools as well as the multipurpose hall and a multi-storey carpark designed to provide modern conveniences. There’s also a barbecue pit where residents can entertain guests and mingle with each other thus promoting community living.

In terms of amenities, D’Ambience is surrounded with some of the best within the vicinity. For shopping, residents can easily go to Giant, Jusco and Tesco shopping complexes. Several banks are also a short drive away including Maybank, Ambank, Eon Bank, RHB and Public Bank. In addition, a number of educational institutions both primary and secondary schools are within reach which is a great advantage for families with children. Medical emergencies are never a problem either because clinics, medical centres and pharmacies are a few minutes away.

Though not as extensively linked with major roads as other places such as the Klang Valley or KLCC, Johor has enough connectivity options that provide easy access. Going in and out of D’Ambience is made more convenient via Pasir Gudang Highway, Eastern Dispersal Link and the Coastal Highway. Driving towards the city centre of Johor Bharu and Sultan Iskandar Complex (CIQ) is also no trouble at all which only takes about 10 minutes by car.

What We Think

Incomparable ambience together with practical facilities and a plethora of nearby amenties, D’Ambience looks like an excellent choice if you’re after a modern sanctuary balanced with scenic views. For an incredibly affordable price starting from RM182,800 upwards, not bad at all. Let’s face it – you’ll be hard pressed to find a brand new mid-level apartment at that price in the Klang Valley, and with prices of properties on the rise in Johor Bharu (due to the spillover effect from the Iskandar region – perhaps no thanks to high profile mega blockbusters like Country Garden in Danga Bay), anything below RM500,000 seems to be a bargain – especially when it comes to projects by brand name developers such as IJM.

Despite the irresistible allure of the affordable price, make sure that you know the fair market value for D’Ambience by downloading our free valuation guide below. Enter your name and email and you’re on your way. G’wan, do it. 🙂
